Good Morning Jesus, It’s great to be alive!
Every day is important, It is a gift and an opportunity to do great things. Don’t waste a minute of it.
“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)
How do you start your day? Do you have a way to ensure it will be the best day possible?
The bible offers clear instructions on how to start your day:
Start your day of by connecting to God, drawing near to God, in prayer
“My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord;
In the morning I will direct it to You,
And I will look up.” Psalm 5:3
“But to You I have cried out, O Lord, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.” Psalm 88:13
Your morning prayer should praise Him and be thankful.
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
What should you be thankful for? You can be thankful for the three essential elements of the universal spiritual process that drives the universe:
Love applied through Truth creates Goodness
You can be thankful for
His Love (Energy, Power, Warmth, Compassion, Forgiveness, Grace, Mercy),
His Truth (Light, Knowledge, Understanding, Wisdom), and
His Goodness (The beneficial effects; Creation, Life, Growth, Righteousness, Salvation, Healing, Blessings, Prosperity, Redemption, Protection, Justice)
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” 1 Chronicles 16:34
The psalms do a nice job setting expectations
“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations..:” Psalm 100:4-5
“Praise the LORD, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise His holy name.
Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all His benefits
— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion” Psalm 103:1-4
